DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Justification for Single Source Awards IAW FAR 13.106-1 For
Over Micro-Purchase Threshold but Not Exceeding the SAT ($250K)
Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C241-22-AP-2349
1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 1, located at
Bedford, MA, in support of VISN 01, VA Health Care System at West Roxbury Medical Center 2237 # 518-24-2-7047-0014
2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:
Laboratory service needs a new anatomic pathology cassette printing system at West Roxbury. This system ensures that patient anatomic pathology samples and tissue blocks are not hand-labeled for patient safety. Incorrectly identifying a handwritten cassette and creating patient slides against the wrong tissue block are both known errors that can be made when using a manual process. The cassette printer minimizes human error in this process.

GDC SERVICE INSTALL HC PER DAY: GDC Service Install Healthcare Per Day- $1,800.00.
GDC SERVICE TRAVEL HC FLAT RT: GDC Service Travel Healthcare Flat Rate Per Trip- $1, 800.00 GDCS-03: Custom Frontend - Additional License
The estimated value of the proposed action is $61,491.00
3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
The service is standardized to this brand. They currently use this brand and need a second unit as a backup. Procuring the same brand will allow for continuity in training, software compatibility, and usage of in-stock consumables.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
No two SDVOSBs were found for a set-aside. The known manufacturer is a small business. They have expressed interest in writing for this procurement. They provided a letter stating that they are the sole source provider of this product. Intent to sole source was posted to SAM.gov.
5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
